RSS Feed — Connect it to MokonyxSocial

This guide helps you set up the RSS Feed service so MokonyxSocial can expose your published Joomla content as an RSS/Atom feed that other apps, aggregators, and platforms can subscribe to. This one is read-only and generated right inside Joomla — it doesn't push anything to a third party; it just makes your posts available at a feed URL.

What you need

• Some published Joomla content for the feed to list.
• Nothing else — no external account, API key, or credential.

How it works

Unlike every other MokonyxSocial service, the RSS Feed service connects to no external platform, so it needs no credentials at all — there's no API key, token, password, or OAuth step to worry about. Everything happens inside your own Joomla site:

1. When you add and publish the RSS Feed service, MokonyxSocial builds a feed document (RSS 2.0 / Atom) from the content you publish through it.
2. Joomla serves that feed at a URL on your own domain — a standard Joomla feed endpoint, like https://yoursite.tld/?format=feed&type=rss or the component's feed route. There's nothing to authenticate because you're only reading your own site's data.
3. Subscribers — feed readers, IFTTT/Zapier-style automations, or other tools — point at that feed URL to pull your latest items.

Since there are no secrets to manage, setup is really just naming and enabling the service, and optionally choosing how many items the feed shows.

Set it up in MokonyxSocial

1. In Joomla admin, go to Components → MokonyxSocial → Services → New.
2. Choose RSS Feed.
3. There are no external credentials to enter — optionally set a title or description and the number of items to include.
4. Click Send Test to confirm the feed generates, then Save & Close and make sure it's Published.

Verify

Open the feed URL in a browser or a feed reader (like Feedly, or just View Source) and check that your latest published items show up as entries with titles, links, and dates. A valid feed will also pass an online checker such as https://validator.w3.org/feed/.

Troubleshooting

• The feed is empty — you don't have any published content routed through the service yet. Publish an item and reload.
• You get a 404 at the feed URL — the service is unpublished, or Joomla's SEF/routing rewrote the URL. Confirm the service is Published and use the exact feed URL Joomla gives you.
• The feed shows a PHP error or invalid XML — a plugin is injecting markup into the feed output. Disable any conflicting output plugins for feed views.
• Old items stick around — feeds are cached. Clear Joomla's cache or wait for the cache to expire.

Notes & limits

• The feed is public by default — anyone with the URL can read it — so don't route unpublished or private content through it.
• The item count is limited by your feed setting and Joomla's global feed length, and very long content is usually summarized in the feed.
• This service only *offers* a feed; it doesn't fetch or import feeds from anywhere else.
